Fate at Fourteen

[Chorus]
They said you'll grow up someday soon enough
The day's gonna come when you put in your nine to five
Just like the next man
They said your friends will be fly by night
So decide
Your fate at fourteen

[Verse 1]
All of them live someone else's dream to be sold
They all look down their nose on me like I'm below them
All of them said to go nowhere's a disease
So decide
You're running out of time

[Verse 2]
Well, that's what they always used to say
To me and you when we dream of a different day
The voices were there to remind us that we're getting old
And our worst fears were right all along

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
They said you'd grow up someday soon enough
The day's gonna come when you put in your nine to five
Just like the next man
All of them said to go nowhere's a disease
So decide
Your fate at fourteen

[Verse 3]
That's what they always used to say
To me and you when we dream of a different day
The voices were there to remind us that we're getting old
And our worst fears were right all along
